by ada

The results are in for the ‘Become a Rock Star’ Flash Games Contest sponsored by Gaia Online, and we are excited to announce the winners of over $25,000 in prizes. There were tons of excellent entries, and I really must say — we are impressed, and humbled, by the creativity energy and talent of Flash game developers around the world.

Got 4th Rockstar place with Gride. Thanks Rockstar judges and everybody else playing our game!

Although only my name is mentioned, we did this game together with Marko Taali. I did all the coding and Marko did audiovisuals. The idea was our combined effort.
